| 4.13 Fifth, we will provide more support
to lower-income households. I have decided to top up
the utilities accounts of households under the Utilities
Save Scheme. Households in 1- and 2-room HDB flats will
enjoy $200 in rebates in 2005; those living in 3-room
HDB flats will get $100 in rebates; those living in
4-room HDB flats $80; and those living in 5-room HDB
flats $60. The rebates will be paid in two instalments
in July 2005 and January 2006. They will cost the Government
$62 million.
